Crystal Palace host Fulham in a London derby on Saturday afternoon and ahead of the Premier League clash, we’ve got the latest match information including team news, predicted lineups and a preview.
Crystal Palace vs Fulham Preview
This weekend’s hosts continue to struggle in the Premier League and with only one win so far this year, Crystal Palace sit just outside the relegation places.
The Eagles won two weeks ago against Tottenham and they backed up the 1-0 upset with another win in the EFL Cup as they sent Aston Villa crashing out in the last 16.
Palace played out a thriller against Wolves in their last league outing as four goals were scored in the second half with the game ending 2-2.
Although they are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions, Palace face a tough test against Fulham this weekend with Marco Silva’s team playing well.
Fulham dominated Brentford on Monday night but they were behind heading towards the final whistle, until super sub Harry Wilson netted a brace off the bench to earn the Cottagers a deserved three points.

Their win against the Bees was Fulham’s third win in the last six games, but they have now finished a difficult period of fixtures and can begin to put some more wins together.
A win for Fulham this weekend could propel them up the table into European contention ahead of the international break next week.
Crystal Palace Team News
Eberechi Eze will not be available for Palace as he remains sidelined with an injury, but the midfielder will reportedly be back after the upcoming international break.
Eddie Nketiah is also a doubt for Saturday after picking up a hamstring in training, but he hans’t been ruled out yet.
Jefferson Lerma, Adam Wharton, Chadi Riad and Matheus Franca are all also still recovering from injuries. Joel Ward may make his return after missing two games.

Crystal Palace vs Fulham Prediction
Palace have still won just one game in the league this season and Fulham have been thriving lately, so we think that this London derby could go to the visitors.
Fulham dominated in their last win against Brentford and they can expect a similar sort of test this weekend, where they should dominate chances and possession.
Reiss Nelson looked very good in Fulham’s win last weekend and he may be able to net his second Premier League goal this year against the Eagles.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-3 Fulham
